Warp yarns usually have more twist than weft yarns.
From Wikipedia:"In weaving cloth, the warp is the set of lengthwise yarns that are held in tension on a frame or loom."
In woven fabric, the horizontal yarns are called the "weft" or "filling" yarns. These yarns run across the width of the fabric and are woven over and under the vertical yarns, known as the "warp." The interplay between the warp and weft creates the fabric's structure and design.
Textile warping is the processing of creating the base yarn that runs top to bottom on woven cloth. Basic woven cloth consists of 2 yarns; a warp and a weft. Think of the warp as the continuous row of yarns and the weft as the yarns that are woven in from side to side.
Warp yarns are threaded on the loom and form the long-ways fibers. Weft yarns are woven in and out of the warp yarns side-to-side during the weaving process. The weft yarns tend to be the fluffier, larger, or more decorative yarns in the project, but this isn't always true.
In weaving cloth, the warp is the set of lengthwise yarns that are held in tension on a frame or loom. The yarn that is inserted over-and-under the warp threads is called the weft, woof, or filler.
In a woven fabric, skew is a measure of by how much the filling yarns are not perpendicular to the warp yarns. Bow is a measure of by how much the filling yarns deviate from being perfectly straight.
Courses and wales refer to the horizontal and vertical threads in a knitted fabric, respectively. Courses are the rows of stitches created by filling yarns, which run horizontally across the fabric, while wales are formed by warp yarns that run vertically. The interplay between these two types of yarns determines the fabric's texture, stretch, and overall structure, influencing its appearance and performance. Together, they create the foundational grid of knitted textiles.
Grams per Square Meter:(no. of warp yarns per inchXdenier)+(no.of weft yarns per inchXdenier)/size of the fabric in incheg: 10 yarns in warp x 10 yarns in weft, denier(density) is 1000.1 mtr : 33.316 inch so 1mtr area = 228.6 is constant.say,((10X1000)+(10X1000))/228.6= 87.48~87.5 GSM.
Warp means twist or bend out of shape.
Warp or warps.
Weft to right is the WEFT the yarn running in the length is the WARP yarn
Warp yarns run lengthwise on a loom and are typically stronger and more tightly woven, as they need to withstand tension during the weaving process. Weft yarns, on the other hand, are woven crosswise and are inserted between the warp threads, creating the fabric's width. To identify them, observe the fabric's structure: the longitudinal threads are warp, while the horizontal threads are weft. Additionally, the warp often has a more uniform appearance due to its tension, whereas the weft can vary more in texture and thickness.
